Liverpool have asked to build 160 family homes on the land in the document submitted to Liverpool City Council which applies for outline planning permission for the development.

A club statement said: “LFC recognises that Melwood has played a significant role in Club’s history, however the site is limited in terms of space and is unable to accommodate LFC’s ambitions for a new first class combined training facility.”
